Pellegrini admits concern over Hart mistakes

3 October 2013 10:52

Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini admitted he was "worried" by Joe Hart's performance in the 3-1 defeat to Bayern Munich.

The England international came under fire following the UEFA Champions League Group D fixture, after first fumbling Franck Ribery's 25-yard effort for Bayern's opener before being beaten easily at his near post by Arjen Robben for the third.

It capped a disappointing evening for City at the Etihad Stadium, after they were outplayed for the most part by the reigning Bundesliga and European champions.

And Pellegrini conceded that he was concerned by Hart's errors, although he believes that the team as a whole must take responsibility for the goals they conceded.

"Of course I am worried about the mistakes," the City boss said.

"(But) the three goals, I think we can do better, not only the goalkeeper."
